About Senator Edwards:

Raised by a single mom in the U.S. Air Force, Lydia Edwards learned early the value of service, hard work, and community. That’s what drives her work every day—as an attorney, advocate, and now your State Senator. Lydia has delivered real results: debt-free community college, millions in local funding, expanded affordable housing, and strong protections for renters, workers, and veterans. She leads with grit and compassion—always putting people first.

Our Conversations With… Speaker Series is to be henceforth known as the Karen Garvin Conversations With.. Speaker Series in memory of Boston Village member, Karen Garvin. Karen was integral to the creation of the speaker series and devoted many years to planning and hosting the program for her fellow members. We hope to carry on her legacy with the continued success of this program.
